This article explores the intersection between cognition theories and urban planning, conceptualizing the city as a distributed socio-cognitive architecture. It traces the evolution of these theories through three waves—functionalism, social externalism, and radical enactivism —. Correspondingly, the article suggests implications for reorienting ur...
This study addresses the pressing need for methodological innovation in response to climate change, with a particular focus on integrating cognitive dynamics with environmental design. The study is grounded in the theories of Extended Mind and Embodied Cognition, and proposes a novel approach that transcends traditional views. This approach uses in...
Road transport in the urban mobility sector plays a significant role in increasing fuel consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and poor air quality. Understanding the relationship between the people and the public road environment is essential to ensure the well-being and safety of individuals and to mitigate the climate change impacts of urba...
Italy’s inland areas face complex challenges such as depopulation, isolation and economic weakness. Through a research project conducted in Taranta Peligna (Chieti, IT), the paper aims to enhance the wool supply chain by adopting a systemic, co-design and collaborative approach among local governments, institutions and communities. To develop innov...
The paper answers the question about how the technologies characteristic of industry 4.0 can support the bioregional development paradigm, focusing on local building production chains to support the energy retrofit of existing buildings. In particular it investigates design choices capable of activating supply chains that can intercept real and alr...
If urban centres need integrated responses to today’s polycrisis, in internal territories where the demand is lower and the per-capita hectare is greater, the ecological transition can be triggered at a cultural, environmental and technological level with a climate-positive approach that distributes energy in a collaborative-community way so that t...
The evolution toward sustainable mobility models must go on with the increase of the quality of public spaces in cities, as the European Green Deal clearly indicates. Response strategies must be integrated with respect to urban demand with a view to reducing emissions and vehicle traffic and increasing the safety of cities. In Pescara, an Adriatic...
The vision of the lever of culture as growth, linked only to the beauty of the historical centres of the inland areas, forgets the social value. Active cultural participation is necessary for effective growth that also involves those who live there and not who "consume" the places. In this framework, the role of the University becomes central for t...
The strategy for sustainable mobility of December 2020 by the European Commission defines the alignment of the transport sector with the European Green Deal, for a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions related to transport by 2050. This involves linear infrastructure of sustainable mobility in our cities. The research has a focus on strategies...
This paper presents a research work aimed at promoting eco-sustainability and biocompatibility in the construction sector through a collaboration between the University and local entrepreneurs, according to the guidelines of the European Community. The study concerns the use of hemp sativa for the manufacturing of products and building elements and...
The quality of built environment is linked to the space in-between buildings and considers its formal, environmental and use values, due to specific needs for care and project re-appropriation.
Sustainable mobility, a strategic objective of the European Union, cannot ignore the quality of the public space. The New European Bauhaus draw a new strate...
Using biomass to produce materials is an alternative possibility to its disposal for energy production or to its composting. This can provide more value, also in economic terms, especially in presence of large amounts of biomass available due to massive agricultural production systems, so that the exploitation of secondary raw materials might becom...
The research starts from a study carried out for Confcooperative Habitat, which focused on the systematic analysis of the materials produced for the launch of a new season of the cooperative movement. The goal is to improve the active action on communities for a tangible social impact able to propose a model that knows how to enhance the common urb...
The resilience concept if referred to the built environment suggests ‘safety’ and recovery capacities that express adaptability and transformability characteristics.
Recognising in the housing settlements many very significant aspects for inspecting the built systems adaptation and transformation needs, we present an extract of the research carried...
We present a research work concerning bio and eco-compatible materials and focused on the use of hemp in building. The work is developed both in the research and training activities, in relationship with the local market. Hemp is a biomaterial with high characteristics of eco-compatibility, but in the considered contest (the Abruzzo region) these p...
The research in this project is associated to an interdisciplinary program aimed at the valorization and protection of rivers, with regards to the activation and control of the flows of symbiosis. Following the criterions of the environmental project, we have tried to integrate urban themes, landscape designs, technological features and ecological...
The research comes from the deepest reasons of the crisis, in order to recognize in such reasons themselves the
direction to come out, the new needs and the new challenges. The local resources (material and immaterial) were reconsidered as patrimony, precious but limited, of each specific area to trace out a path of supportability able to rebuild n...
The researches concerning “raw earth” started (1979) thanks to recent surveys related to the knowledge of local technologies for the establishment of an archive of the techniques, fundamental for each recovery and maintenance intervention of the “rediscovered” existing heritage. A subsequent aspect of the research, related to the construction in ra...
On April 6 th 2009 the L'Aquila territory suffered the consequences of a major earthquake. Immediately it turned out the necessity of carrying out an efficient rebuilding able to give a more sustainable dimension to the territory respect to the situation before the catastrophic event. A first objective is a hypothesis of introduction in the studied...
